In an unexpected twist, an FBI agent reportedly admitted that the bureau was disappointed when the recent assassination attempt on Donald J. Trump failed. Social media posts unearthed by investigators revealed that FBI staffer Jenna Howell expressed eagerness for Trump’s elimination before the upcoming election.
Howell’s posts didn’t stop at expressing disappointment; she also took a jab at Trump supporters. “Y’all gun-toting, 2nd Amendment-loving hillbillies better just sit down and stay quiet unless you’re gonna change your mind on gun control,” she posted. Such remarks have stirred outrage among those already on edge about political violence.
Despite the seriousness of these admissions, law enforcement has not disclosed how the would-be assassin obtained the firearm. The lack of transparency only adds to the growing unease among the public and Trump’s supporters.
A Controversial FBI Figure
Former FBI analyst Chris Toompas, who was terminated for refusing the Covid-19 vaccine mandate, shed light on Howell’s history within the bureau. He revealed that Howell previously worked in the NICS Firearms Background Check Unit, where she assessed individuals’ eligibility to acquire firearms. Now, she’s reportedly with the FBI’s Identity Research Department.
Toompas didn’t hold back his criticism. “The only thing leftists love to do is hate those who disagree with them, and in this instance, wish for their death,” he said. This remark underscores the contentious environment within the FBI. Toompas’ own experience adds weight to his words, having faced backlash for voicing his disdain for the vaccine mandate on Facebook.
Toompas shared a specific incident: “During my suspension, I went on Facebook to share my story. [Howell] threatened to report me to the FBI for violating their Facebook policy. The irony.” This anecdote paints a picture of a workplace rife with ideological conflict, where political views could lead to severe consequences.
Whistleblower Revelations
It’s no secret that anti-Trump sentiments exist within the FBI. At least one whistleblower has claimed that the bureau systematically pushed out agents who openly supported Trump. These allegations suggest a deeper, more pervasive issue within the agency, one that could compromise its objectivity and integrity.
The implications of Howell’s comments and the broader accusations against the FBI are profound. They raise serious questions about the agency’s impartiality and the potential influence of personal biases on professional duties. If agents are willing to express such extreme views publicly, it’s worth considering what’s being said behind closed doors.
Our Take
The FBI’s alleged desire for Trump’s elimination before November is both alarming and dangerous. Such sentiments from within one of the nation’s top law enforcement agencies erode public trust and threaten democratic processes. If agents allow personal biases to influence their work, it jeopardizes the agency’s mission to uphold justice impartially.
The bureau must address these issues head-on. Transparency and accountability are crucial to restoring faith in the FBI. Without them, the agency risks becoming a political tool rather than a protector of the people. The American public deserves an unbiased and fair law enforcement body, not one swayed by internal conflicts and personal vendettas.
